Spiritual powers
 Pyrite is known above all as a stone of plenty and wealth as it resembles gold - the universal symbol of riches. Sometimes it is called the treasure guardian, because it has the ability to preserve your wealth and achievements. I addition to monetary plenty, it also creates spiritual plenitude - positivity. It supports the actualization of ideas, the manifestation of your hidden talents and the realization of spiritual powers.

Pyrite is a super energy shield, blocking the negative energy moving in your direction and confounding any manipulations headed in your direction. It clarifies the mind and stimulates brain activity - helps to create a bridge between brain hemispheres and achieve balance between logic and intuition. This in turn connects ideas and realities. If you have trouble with memory and learning, use pyrite, which is a brain tonic.

A crystal with powerful fire energy and as such, more a masculine energy stone, but it can be beneficial to both genders, as it instils stability and assurance in both. A catalyst for action, increasing will, decision-making resolve and activity toward a specific goal.
